Police in Derry/Londonderry have made two arrests after a car was stolen in the city on Friday evening, 3rd May.

Inspector McDonald said: “At approximately 7.25pm police received a report that a black Audi A5 had been taken from a car park at a shopping centre in the Orchard Street area.

“A number of initial enquiries were made in the area and CCTV footage was reviewed - the vehicle was subsequently flagged as being stolen.

“Later that evening, whilst officers were responding to a separate report in the Margaret Street area, the vehicle was located nearby.

“Officers arrested two men, both aged in their 30s, at the scene on suspicion of a number of related driving offences, including taking a motor vehicle without authority.

“One of the men became aggressive towards police during the course of arrest and attempted to assault them. He also spat on an officer.

“Both men remain in police custody at this time as enquiries continue.

 “I would appeal to anyone who may be able to assist with our investigation or has CCTV, dash-cam or mobile phone footage, to contact us on 101, quoting reference 1622 03/05/24.”
